Week 8 Picks
Posted: October 22nd, 2005, 7:06 am
Ohio State vs. Indiana:
==================
- OSU thunders ahead to that big UM game. Unfortunately, the Hoosiers lose again.
Northwestern vs. Michigan State:
=========================
- I really think Northwestern wins this game. NW is way better than people think. However, I am taking MSU simply because it looks better for Penn State when they beat MSU at the end of the season. Wishes come true sometimes, right?
Virginia vs. North Carolina:
===================
- Big confidence boost last week prime for a big letdown this week? Gonna be close. Cavs by 2.
Syracuse vs. Pittsburgh:
===================
- Cuse are still looking for their first yard of offense this season. Even H.B. Blades may have a tackle this week. Pitt by 8. Isn't it funny how PSU was ridiculed for playing 12 o'clock games?
Louisville vs. Cincinnati:
==================
- Big hose-job last week in Morgantown. Cards rebound.
Michigan vs. Iowa:
==============
- This is when Ferentz's teams peak. Give me the Hawks at home, while a sporadic UM team tries to find the answers before OSU.
Arkansas vs. Georgia:
=================
- UGA by 16.
Nebraska vs. Missouri:
=================
- Still a horrible team playing home games in Columbia, folks. Nebraska by 11.
Temple vs. Clemson:
=================
- Even Tommy Bowden can squeak out a win against out Owls.
Northern Illinois vs. Kent State:
========================
- No Illy has no trouble with the Hummingbirds.
BYU vs. Notre Dame:
=================
- Bet the grass is short this week. I'll also bet ND jumps into #1 in the BCS after the stink that was raised about them being 16th.
Oklahoma State vs. Iowa State:
========================
- Deliverance's two national title contenders go head to head!!!! Who will be victorious? ISU wins because the only Big 12 team worse than them is Oklahoma State.
Kentucky vs. Mississippi:
=====================
- Too bad we don't get to see the UK blue's this week. Give me Ole Miss by 10.
Ball State vs. Ohio:
==============
- Tough call in the MAC. Ohio by 3.
Texas A&M vs. Kansas State:
========================
- Bill Snyder's team really that bad? Yes.
Houston vs. Mississippi State:
=========================
- I'll call this upset. Houston can score from anywhere on the field, and MSU couldn't stop my grandmother from baking banana nut-bread.
Wyoming vs. Colorado State:
=======================
- Give me the Cowboys on the road.
Rutgers vs. UCONN:
===================
- Big East pillow-fight of the week. Rutgers by 1.
SMU vs. Tulsa:
=============
- Give me the Hurricanes at home.
TCU vs. Air Force:
================
- AFA is too inconsistent, yet again. TCU by 19.
Florida State vs. Duke:
===================
- Big rebound blow-out for the Seminoles.
NC State vs. Wake Forest:
======================
- I'd guess Amato sees the writing on the wall. They need to win this game. NCSU by 15.
East Carolina vs. Memphis:
=====================
- I refuse to pick a team coached by Spanky Holtz.
Texas Tech vs. Texas:
==================
- Although the Tech defense gets better every year, they are not quite there yet. They can win a shootout, though. But... gotta take Texas.
USC vs. Washington:
=================
- Hasn't Willingham had enough of USC yet? Trojans by 50.
Purdue vs. Wisconsin:
===================
- Cannot trust Joe Tiller. Wisconsin by 14. PSU needs Wisconsin to win this game.
Tennessee vs. Alabama:
===================
- On the road, in a VERY hostile environment, Tennessee ruins Alabama's season.
Vanderbilt vs. South Carolina:
======================
- USC wins by 10.
Western Michigan vs. Bowling Green:
=============================
- Greenies win again.
North Texas vs. Louisiana Tech:
=========================
- Another debacle. Tech by 25.
Arizona State vs. Stanford:
======================

Baylor vs. Oklahoma:
================
- Can they pull off the upset???? YES!!!! Sooners by 6!!!!
Penn State vs. Illinois:
==================
- Lions need a good showing, and no one is dumber than Ron Zook, so hopefully Morelli will get some snaps.
Florida Atlantic vs. Arkansas State:
============================
- Give me my Indians again. Love those home uni's.
Utah vs. UNLV:
=============
- Utah but I'm taller. Utes by 20.
Buffalo vs. Toledo:
==============
- Everyone tune in to see the best I-A team in the state of New York get crushed by the Rockets.
Auburn vs. LSU:
==============
- 2 big SEC battles today and 2 big upsets. Auburn.
Marshall vs. UTEP:
================

New Mexico vs. San Diego State:
